TLDR
A potent non-opioid analgesic, epibatidine, has been isolated from skins of the Ecuadoran poison frog, Epipedobates tricolor, and its structure determined by MS, IR, and 1 H NMR analyses as exo-2-(6-chloro-3-pyridyl)-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane represents a unique new class of alkaloids.

Synthesis of α-chloropyridine-containing oximes of 3β,5-dihydroxy-6-ketosteroids

TL;DR: New derivatives of 6-ketoximes containing α-chloropyridine neonicotinoid groups characteristic of bioactive compounds were synthesized by formation of oximes of cholestane and stigmastane 3β,5-dihydroxy-6-ketosteroids with O-(2-chlorOPyridin-5-ylmethyl)hydroxylamine in the presence of zinc or tin(IV) chloride as mentioned in this paper.

N-Arylmethyl-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivatives: synthesis and reaction mechanisms

TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanistic investigation using DFT has been carried out to explain the results observed in this work, and it has been shown that the bromination of the key intermediates is stereoselective leading to major trans-3-cis-4-dibromides (14, 17, and 20), whose mild base-mediated heterocyclization (on compound 14), or the two-step acid hydrolysis plus base-promoted cyclization, on compounds 17 and 20, gave products 6 and 7 in good yield.
